There is something slightly ironic about this post following the one about rising prices in San Francisco. Because as much as I will defend my neighborhood, I certainly can’t afford to pay $12 for a burger for breakfast.

Wow. This comments section so far is the epitome of internet ignominy. Check out this place for one second and you’ll see it’s a labor of love from two *badass* local women. I know it’s not as cheap as hangover brunch at Cancun. But Jesus. Not everything has to be. Just because it costs more than sucking refried beans out of a can doesn’t mean it’s inauthentic. It just has to be worth the extra scratch. The question is: is it worth it? in this case: a resounding YES. The owners are for real and the experience will make you proud to live here again. Haters: give it a chance.

That is fucking insane. Drive 10 minutes south and go to Sea Bowl in Pacifica. It’s $29/hr weekends and $27 during the week. Or if you don’t have a car take BART to Serra Bowl in Daly City…. OH WAIT THEY JUST CLOSED GRRRR

yo dude. it’s not BREAKFAST. it’s brunch. it’s supposed to be a TREAT. a TREAT is not something you’re entitled to everyday. it’s a reward for all your hard work. if you want BREAKFAST make an egg on toast at home. if you want BRUNCH, betta make it worth it.

speaking of entitled, why do you feel entitled to get your food at a certain price point? if the prices are that outrageous, then people won’t eat there and they will have to adjust them. my suspicion is that there are quite a few in SF that can afford a $20 brunch.

this is America, it’s a capitalist state. some people work harder and earn more than others. some people were just born with more than others. businesses are more likely to cater to these people.

Okay, but really. I get that we are all struggling here. Life is hard. Life is expensive. Life cost less in Portland or New Orleans and yet you continue to live here. Anyway. The point is: do you never yearn for something better than absolute basic necessity? Come here. Not every day, clearly. But once in a while. Have a good time. Special moments are worth more than an Egg McMuffin at McD’s. The fact that we think they aren’t is why we enslave animals and rape the rainforest. D’doi.

and if you can’t afford it get the fuck out!
“businesses are more likely to cater to these people”
That is exactly the problem, if you want that to be the standard then fine. And for the record if you were born with money and think these kinds of prices/markets are ok and cannot see how they affect others who are not in that price bracket then you are the one who is acting entitled. Not your fault though, you were just born that way.

When most people on this board tell you your shit is too expensive, it is probably too expensive. Most people around here would be up this place’s ass about how cool it was without much prodding, the prices have really put people off. You can defend it as a two person owned business or whatever, but it’s still catering to a different crowd than most of the people on this board.

It’s catering to a different crowd than those of you that take the time to gripe in the comments. Meanwhile, a lot of people saw this post and immediately got off their asses and went to brunch. (Our analytics are really good.)

Oh c’mon don’t try and blow $55 smoke up my ass. I’m sure the two women that own this place are nice, thats great, the Mission Bowling Club advocates leaving comments here are taking a defensive standpoint because they’re aware that this cost is relatively high.

Also, the average length of a game of bowling with two people is around 20, if they’re good and don’t talk or eat or drink or do anything other than bowl. So really given that a half hour rate is not available, six people heading out for a night of bowling are going to spend $110, thats before drinks and food.

All that said, I wish them the best, I just think it shouldn’t be as expensive as it is. Especially when bowling alley’s are synonymous with well not being super expensive.

Chris B. I appreciate your attitude but may not the math … the prices go down the more people you pack onto a lane … it’d be 20 a person with two people, but less with each person you add … 110 comes outta nowhere bro

I LOVE this place! The food is YUMMY!! Read my YELP review you haters! Its well priced for me and my friends. We come to the Mission to look at art and people with nose rings. F.U. the Mission is the new Marina so get over it! Do they do a Marina Girl Salad?

Man, I got a double super-buzz. Here I was huffing airplane glue in a sandwich bag. Ya know, just all I could I breathed it on into my lungs and gettin’ high. And then I’d take me a hit of that gas. Right after I’d hit it, man, you talk about a warped mind, I got one. And lighter fluid, ya know, I’d sniff-hit by the can. I mean I was Superman.

I’m sure there are still many struggling folks of every stripe living in the Mission. Whether they are Latin, or Caucasian college grads, seems beside the point. This place isn’t offering everyday breakfast; it’s offering brunch. To me, that’s a special meal apart from everyday grub. You wouldn’t take a date out to McDonald’s… (Not that I haven’t had many fine dates over tacos. But you get my drift.)

I went there this weekend. The prices are in tune with the amount/quality of food served. These weren’t tiny dollops on otherwise pristine plates—these were huge, hearty portions made with top-notch ingredients. (See my post above re: Kyle M.)

This place provides bang for your buck, as well as true artisanship. You will leave feeling fat and happy, not ripped off and hungry. Trust me.

Wow. The massive amount of snarling petty bitchery on this topic of ridiculously overpriced businesses from a bunch of wanky hipsters and nouveau riche posers makes me more determined than ever not to go to the Mission unless I have to. You guys make Oakland look better everyday.
